sometimes I forget

how much time can be spent planning a cruise. You'd think - sure, easy enough, just pick your itinerary. Well, that is the easy part. The hard part is trying to get a good price on air, hotels pre and post, figuring out what to do for insurance and for transfers and stuff. If we had unlimited funds, well, then it would be easy - but since we don't, we try to get the most bang for our buck. And that's still just the beginning. Since we prefer using local tour guides rather than being herded around with 100 other people on a ship excursion, I do lots of research on various cruise message boards to find out which companies are best, and which places to tour at each stop. It's fun, don't get me wrong, but yikes,it really does take a lot of time!
